Another recount coming this summerBy Times staff writer
© St. Petersburg Times, Later this summer, another media-sponsored recount will be published that is expected to be the last and most definitive effort to examine what happened when voters went to the polls Nov. 7. A group of leading news organizations, including the St. Petersburg Times, has overseen a months-long effort to review about 180,000 ballots. The ballots include undervotes and overvotes in all 67 counties. Besides the St. Petersburg Times, the group includes the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Associated Press, the Palm Beach Post, CNN-Time Magazine and Tribune Publishing, which owns the Orlando Sentinel. The newspaper consortium hired the National Opinion Research Center, a non-profit survey research firm affiliated with the University of Chicago, to review the ballots. NORC was charged with examining and recording the characteristics on each of the ballots, not with determining which marks should be counted as votes.
